As part of my Indian food fix, I found this awesome slow cooker Tikka Masala recipe. This was absolutely delicious and it will be a new go to for me.
Ingredients:
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces
1 medium onion, diced
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 Tbsp ginger powder
1 (8 oz) can of tomato paste
3/4 cup plain yogurt
1 Tbsp olive oil
1 Tbsp Garam Masala
1.5 tsp cumin
1/4 tsp paprika
1 tsp salt, or to taste
1/3 tsp cinnamon
1/3 tsp fresh ground black pepper
1-3 tsp cayenne pepper (depending on your heat preference)
1 bay leaf
1/2 cup heavy cream
1.5 Tbsp cornstarch
Chopped parsley or cilantro, for topping
Instructions:
- Place everything up to the bay leaves in a large bowl. With a spatula, stir to combine everything and make sure the chicken is coated well.
- Gently place the mixture in the insert of the crockpot and add the bay leaf.
Cover and cook for 8 hours on low (or 4 hours on high).
- When done, in a medium bowl, whisk together heavy cream and corn starch, then pour the mixture into the crockpot and gently stir. Let cook an additional 20 minutes to thicken up.
- Serve hot over a bed of white (or brown) rice and top with fresh parsley or cilantro leaves, enjoy!
